Then, we pivot to  World of Warcraft  and another set of world-shaking entities. We saw what happened when we killed a Titan and kicked off  Shadowlands , but what happens when a world soul dies? Do they just get to hang out in Ardenweald forever? Because that kinda sounds better than having a sword stuck through you since  Legion . Then, we turn beneath the surface of Azeroth, to the Rift of Aln and the Nightmares it may hold. Also, is Xal'atath beneath the surface of Azeroth now, too? Was that some kind of weird portal magic through the Voidwell, or is she and her void baddies just Silver Surfering it up down there? If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon , where you can get these episodes early and ad-free! Hosted on Acast.
